Hello all,

I am new to postgreSQL. When I read the documents, I find out the Postmaster
daemon actual spawns a new backend server process to serve a new client
request. Why not use threads instead? Is that just for a historical reason,
or some performance/implementation concern?

Thank you very much.
Junfeng
